Top Thrill - Blue/Green

The brand new MOTIV® Top Thrill™ takes high friction performance to a new level!  This latest advancement for dry lanes offers a boosted core and brand new coverstock, a significant step up from the original Thrill™ models in both core and coverstock technology.   The Top Thrill™ provides bowlers with more options for attacking drier lanes and higher friction lane surfaces.  

Developed as a dry lane complement to the Infusion™ reactive cover, the Turmoil™ XP  shell provides as much down lane shape with less traction in the oil to allow for use on dry lanes.  When Infusion™ reactive balls are too strong, the Top Thrill™ will be a great option for even the most competitive bowlers.  

The Flux™ core in the original Thrill™ is replaced in the Top Thrill™ with a modified Halogen™ core previously found in higher performance Motiv® bowling balls.  The new Halogen™ V2 has a slightly higher RG than the original with a lower differential.  The Halogen™ V2 is uniquely suited for dry lanes, but with a strong enough core to allow for more angles of play and significantly more versatility in drilling options. 

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed Dominant Bowlers:  When speed dominant bowlers encounter conditions so scorched that they need a dry lane ball, it’s important to have one that is developed for performance.  The Top Thrill is developed to provide shape on dry lanes, not just deliver at the cheapest price or just be the prettiest ball on the wall.
  • Balanced Bowlers: For balanced bowlers, a dry lane ball is an important part of a tournament arsenal. Low volume oil patterns and high friction surfaces necessitate balls with higher rg’s and lower differentials.  The Top Thrill is designed to fit in a competitive bowler’s progression just below the Venom and Supra line.
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers: For bowlers with exceptionally low speed or high rev rates, the Top Thrill allows manageable angles on normal house patterns and sport shots.  A rev dominant bowler so often is forced to play much deeper with steep angles even on house shots due to their ball speed to rev rate ratio.  The Top Thrill solves that problem.

    Great ball for light oil or dryer lanes. Love the control and reliability of the ball. Great action at 17.5-18 mph.

    About Me Almost 83 years old and bowl once a week.

    Improved average

    Last year I was bowling with an 11lb ball and finished the season with a 155 average. In May I purchased a 12lb Purple/Red thrill. Within 2 weeks I moved up to a 13lb Blue/Green thrill. My average this year had increased to 164. Today I ordered a 13lb Blue Coral Venom. I'm hoping with this addition to continue increasing my average. At 83 I should be going down in weight, but I'm bowling now with the heaviest ball I've ever used. I'm convinced that Motiv is the best!

    Great ball right out of the box

    The Top Thrill really surprised me I was able to control it very well and even on the higher friction part of the lanes I feel like it has a very predictable motion that landed me a 740 series right out of the box this ball is exactly what I was looking to add to my bag

    What a Thrill!

    I had the original Red/Wine Thrill and the Pink/Yellow Thrill as well and thought those were the best bang for your buck hands down. Sure enough the Top Thrill had something to say about that! I could not believe the performance I got with such a fairly priced ball. I could throw the ball out and it would have no problem recovering. I was even able to throw this ball on the fresh with no issues. This ball is great for any bowler, whether you are new to the game or have a lot of experience under your belt.

    Great Ball

    I drilled this ball 55x5.5x80. I wanted this ball for super dry lanes or lanes that have very crisp backends. I got just that. Late in league or tournaments when the lanes are dry, this ball allows me to move back right into my comfort zone. The ball goes long and hits like a truck. Another amazing release by Motiv!
